No. The question posed was about this:

         "However, on rare occasions eloquent speakers of new Pelorian
         become sufficiently enlightened by the language to be lunarized,
         even if they have never worshipped Sedenya or her fellow deities
                         Glorantha: Intro p91.

and whether the effect of becoming _lunarized_ (NOT illuminated) was _like_ Illumination (i.e. a chance of sudden insight every sacred time) and I said no, the effect was gradual.

>Why make it so cheap and easy?

"rare occasions"? "eloquent speakers"? Given that the effect is simply becoming a Lunar in thought, it's far from cheap and dirty illumination.
